Hi Erik, The Wikipedia app description includes "Share: Use your existing social networking apps to share in the sum of all human knowledge." Does it support uploading media to Commons? Does it fix the problems with the official Commons app? If so, can they share a library which would allow the Commons app to be more of a specialised front-end to the same functionality that the WMF mobile apps team are developing for Wikipedia? -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
